The Privilege Test

Privileged

14 Privilege and 6 Luck

Most things in life have worked out for you, by birth, by luck, or hard work. Things might not always be going that well, but things for you are a lot easier and better than for most people in society. You may get frustrated when it's pointed out to you that you've come by the good things in your life rather easily, as if this means you're lazy or didn't do anything yourself. That's not true. Like poker, you started out with a pretty good hand, and this has paved the path for you along the way. You might stop and think that it's not like that for everyone. Maybe you got a score this high because you have worked very hard despite the problems that were in your life when you were born, and that is commendable. Don't judge those who have more trouble in life too harshly, and become more aware of your high position; with the power you have, you can become a worthwhile ally and achieve good things for those less fortunate.

Your Luck score tells you how much of your privilege score is through no fault of your own. Luck scores higher on privileges you were born with (like skin color), nothing on privileges you may have attained yourself (like income) and negative on problems you had no power in (like a traumatic childhood). Luck is not always accurate since life experiences are still highly individual.
